Kyiv: Special Representative of the US State Department for
Ukraine Kurt Volker will hold the third round of talks on the situation in the
Donbas with Russian President's aide Vladislav Surkov today, November 13, in
Belgrade.

The decision on the new meeting was made after an
extraordinary visit of Volcker to Ukraine on October 27.

Volker and Surkov intend to discuss the Russian draft UN
resolution on the deployment of the peacekeeping mission of the international
organization in the Donbas, as well as the implementation of the Minsk
agreements and the work of the Minsk Contact Group.

During Kurt Volcker's visit to Ukraine on October 27, he
held a working meeting with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko. The sides
coordinated further steps to strengthen the international presence in the
Donbas, both in the framework of efforts in the Normandy format, and at
international venues, primarily in the UN Security Council.

During the visit, Volcker said that the UN resolution on the
introduction of peacekeepers in the Donbas may be ready before the end of the
year.

The previous meeting between Volker and Surkov took place in
Serbia on Saturday, October 7. For the first time they held talks in Belarus on
August 21.
